Can you get in trouble for giving a pet a naughty name?

[Revalopod]

I've found a few ways around the swear filter but I'm scared I will get in trouble if I actually name my pet that.

Generally speaking, if you make an "interesting" name for your weapon/account/pet, you should be fine, as long as you don't link it in chat (where bot will recognize name as post and kick you), but DE always reserves a right to rename your account/pet/weapon to something not breaking the rules.

Usually they rename those to stuff like "InappropriateName#[N]", and you have the right to contact support and ask them for free rename. In cases of you, big thinking an (again) inapproriate name into existance, support will just rename your weapon to whatever comes in their mind.

DE does force renames of inappropriate things, though disingenuous at times. Like the moderator "Friendzoning Misandrist" was forced to rename as Misan. (not clever). On a less serious note about the state of the Guides of the Lotus, I have occasionally seen my friends think themselves clever and have to do renames.

On a similar note, d'you think DE might want to think about changing the name of Simaris' gear item [Kinetic Siphon Trap] given their current stance on certain things?

3 years after still noone has noticed

Hitler isn't a bad word. It's a name. Granted, a name that society as a whole stigmatises due to history, but that doesn't make it a bad word.
